We are having a celebration over at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie for the 5th birthday of this Challenge Blog !! I was tempted by the always gorgeous cookie inspiration photos and have been a member of the Design Team since January 2018 !! Our Challenge runs from Sept. 5 through the 18th - link up any project you would like that is inspired by our birthday inspiration photo below . One lucky person will win a gift card for some amazing digi stamps . I will also be giving away some blog candy to 1 lucky commenter on this post. In honor of our 5th anniversary - I will be sending someone 5 of my favorite craft supplies - can you guess what those are ?!?!?!
For this challenge, I immediately thought of a beautiful stamp set from Close To My Heart - It's Your Day to Sparkle . It was a Stamp of the Month this year and I had to have it !! It was perfect to help me celebrate 5 years of Cookie Challenges !!
- I stamped the cake design with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink onto a white watercolor panel and also stamped the roses from the cake onto scraps of dark pink and green papers.
- The roses and leaves were fussy-cut from the paper scraps to paper-piece onto the cake.
- Above the cake I also stamped the word SPARKLE and the doodle line.
- The cake stand was colored with a variety of my favorite markers : Faber-Castell PITT Artist pens and Akashiya SAI Waterbrush markers.
- I adhered a piece of silver candy dot sparkle ribbon from Webster's Pages to the top of the watercolor panel ( this ribbon has long been hoarded in my craft room !!! ) .
- The roses and leaves were adhered to the cake with Art Glitter Glue .
- Wink of Stella - Clear was used to add sparkle to every other layer of the cake .
- A glittery turquoise 5 was placed at the top of the cake.
- The watercolor panel was adhered to a dark blue card base.
I hope that you will leave me a comment here - you just might receive a bit of blog candy from me !! Then take a peek at the other Design Team projects over at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie . Please celebrate with us by linking up a project before September 19. Get inspired by our latest Happy Birthday cookie photo !!
Thanks again for visiting Meticulosity !!
